For any who haven't heard, a very severe thunderstorm damaged the grounds (again). Everything should be cleaned up by the time the faire opens in August, but the brewery/main bar plus an actor and staff housing area and one of our newest stages had some pretty bad damage. Several ver large, very old trees came down on top of them and of course the tents came down and took their supports with them. The faire has posted some pictures on their Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150886385542377.399866.75141067376&type=1) and some local news networks covered the storm damage (one of them: http://www.fox43.com/news/lancaster/wpmt-powerful-storm-downs-trees-at-the-pa-renaissance-faire-grounds-20120629,0,3400817.story). No one was injured and all the damage is repairable, thankfully.

Send some good mojo for Mother Nature to stop beating up Mt. Hope already!!

Sending good vibes toward Mt. Hope! Mother Nature has certainly been harsh the past two years. I think it's time the fairegrounds had a break from destructive weather!
